Ouch! Beginner’s Silicone Hollow Urethral Plug Set Review

Personal Experience

From Smallest to Biggest

The Medium

The Biggest and Best One

Design

The large rings are great design, accomplishing a couple different goals at the same time. The smallest and the largest have simple shapes, but the shapes work great for sounding. While the middle sound wasn't my favorite, it's still a functional sound. It does seem kind of strange, though, that the more gentle contours of the middle sound are interrupted at the base by that larger widening. It doesn't fit with the one niche that sound might have. I also kind of wish the short sound didn't have that weird orb, just because it makes it look like they really aren't a part of the same set. That's that's a very minor nitpick though, and doesn't affect any of the functionality.

Ease of Use

These are some of the easiest sounds to use. The middle sound is perfect for those who can't handle width, and the short sound is great for those who would struggle with depth. While sounding in general isn't the most beginner-friendly thing to get into, largely due to the precautions you need to take, this is very close to making it as easy as possible for a sounding set.

Quality

Since they are the same sounds found in other sets, I have seen a couple minor flaws (such as excess material) just not technically in this set for this review. The sounds I received in the "Ouch!" set were flawless. I think this material is pretty good, I just happen to know that sometimes slight slips in quality can happen. Regardless of material, they are easy to clean, and always spring back into shape after bending them.

Price

While it's not all that more expensive than its competition, other sets on other sites do have the exact same sounds. The same color, material, length, and shape... likely from the exact same manufacturer. There is unfortunately no reason to buy this. You can, as of the time of this writing, find a set with 5 silicone sounds for 14.99 at Lovegasm (https://lovegasm.co/products/silicone-urethral-stretcher-penis-plug). Unlike steel sounds, silicone sounds are not expensive. Over 10$ per sound is just too much for this.

Performance

All three sounds perform well. I love the hollow feature of these sounds, although the shortest sound did seem to restrict fluid just a bit (another thing that sets it apart from the set). Despite everything being functional, the website claims a "variety of urethral play sensations." All three sounds actually feel a bit similar. They are different lengths and different shapes, but they are all still beginner-oriented hollow silicone sounds. Something like a steel sound feels profoundly different, as do longer sounds, electro-stim sounds, sounds with challenging widths, etc... I think calling this set a "variety" is a stretch.

Packaging

The packaging was extremely questionable. Was it really that hard to get a box that fit the (rather wastefully large) plastic sheet they come in? Heck, the thing is flat enough, I'm not sure why they needed a box at all, instead of one of those large manila envelopes. Personally, I usually don't care about packaging. As long as the toy makes it to me safely, I don't really care if it's thrown into a box with tissue paper. This is beyond low-effort though. This is the first packaging I've seen that makes me second-guess the company it came from.

Materials and care

The three sounds are made with body-safe silicone, and are relatively flexible compared to other types of silicone sex toys. Just like every sound, you must make sure they are disinfected before use. I find that the easiest way is to boil them for 5 minutes. I just dump the whole kit into a pan on the stove. The other common method is to use disinfecting alcohol wipes.
